Today the PlayStation 4 version of our game Awesomenauts, called
Awesomenauts Assemble!, received its first update! This update
brings the first parts of the successfully kickstarted Starstorm
expansion over to the PS4 platform as well as a host of fixes and
updates.

Highlights for Awesomenauts Assemble! Patch 1.01:

- NEW Starstorm character: Ted McPain

Yes, the world-famous alien-scum blasting
marine Ted McPain made it to PlayStation 4! Ted is all about
powerful guns, carrying both a quick-firing machine gun as well as
an area-blasting shotgun. He can enhance his blasting power at any
time by means of seriously potent but unhealthy stimpacks that
cause Ted to go berserk. And whenever Ted is caught with his pants
down, he can always call in an Ion Cannon strike that blasts
through the level.

- NEW Starstorm character: Penny Fox

The daring danger-dodging collector Penny Fox
leaps into action on PlayStation 4! During one of her more crazy
adventures, she stumbled upon a powerful Claw that was mysteriously
connected to the ominous Starstorm station. Harnessing its power to
in her quest to fight evil, the claw allows Penny to knock enemies
around and hit them with a strong enemy-weakening pulse.

- NEW feature: Custom Games

Custom games allows players to set up and
customize their own private matches. Customization examples include
playing different game modes (Randomnauts and Team Deathmatch),
allowing the same class multiple times within a team, let the game
automatically buy random upgrades and adjusting the starting
resources.

- Various fixes

The game has received a ton of visual,
balancing and networking updates. Some of the biggest changes
include: an overhaul to all damage numbers, basic health
regeneration for all characters from the start and automatic
character and upgrade selection when players rejoin a match they
had previously left.

Of course, this is just the beginning of the updates coming to
consoles' way. On that front our friends at Abstraction Games are
already working on the next PlayStation 4 patch as well as getting
the Xbox One version out of the door. Meanwhile us at Ronimo Games
will keep on expanding upon the Steam version. Look forward to
updates on all these developments soon!
